What Branson Remembers!

So driving home from dinner tonight (I-Hop Yum!) Branson started talking about all the things he remembered when we lived in Plano. We moved to Austin when he just turned 4. It was cute all the things he remembered. He remembered our swing set we had in our backyard which brought back the memory for me of when we got that first swing set. We bought it for Kyler when he turned 2. At the time Paul was traveling a lot for work and I remember spending a lot of time with Kyler pushing him on the swing and him singing. Kyler was a big singer when he was small and a lot of time now I will hear him in the other room singing. Branson always liked the slide on the swing set. He would go down it over and over and over and over! That first swing set got a lot of use!

Branson said he remembered our living room in Plano but that he didn't remember his room. That made me kind of sad because he spent a lot of time in his room playing with his trains and hotwheels. He did remember Kyler's room. But he said he remembered the living room the most. We all spent a lot of time in that room too.

Branson also remember always walking to the 'lake' to feed the ducks. There use to be a pond by Kyler's school in Plano and me and Branson would walk to the pond and feed the ducks while we waited for Kyler to get out of school. Branson use to call it the lake. He would always say 'can we walk to the lake and feed the ducks?' It was so cute how he called it the lake and he still calls it by that name today.

The drive home tonight really brought back a lot of good memories of when Kyler and Branson were younger. It really made me realize how much they have grown up and how fast it has all gone. That made me kind of sad too...knowing how much they have grown up in the last couple of years but then again it also made me happy for how many great memories we have made. And they are still little and still so cute! It was really cute what Branson remembered. He remembers a lot of little things. And those little things are very important! It's the little things that count! That's what I am learning from Branson!
